This book is a specialized work that deciphers the code of Huawei's quality management from the perspective of navigating cycles. Over three years, the author team interviewed numerous internal and external experts involved in the development and operation of Huawei's quality management system. From the unique vantage point of cycle navigation, they systematically examined this system—from the heights of its strategic guidance down to the details of its cultural permeation. The book clearly elucidates the fundamental logic and innovations of Huawei's quality management system, elevating the understanding to a theoretical level.

The rise of Chinese enterprises, represented by Huawei, is not only a magnificent history of transformation but also an evolutionary history that has given birth to new management ideas and methods. Innovative concepts born from the fusion of Chinese and Western practices, quality management strategies adapted to the times and circumstances, an evolutionary rhythm of quality management where gradual change coexists with radical shifts, the courage and foresight of leaders in boldly innovating the quality management system, and self-criticism aimed at achieving entropy reduction within an open system—all these have enabled Huawei to navigate the cycle of chaos-order-chaos and achieve success in moving from catch-up to transcending catch-up.

This book outlines the innovative logic and intricacies of Huawei's quality management for readers, offering unique quality management ideas and providing methods and practical processes that can be studied and emulated. It serves as a reference and guide for more enterprises to build quality management systems and processes suited to their own needs. Its aim is to help more enterprises gain the power to navigate cycles in this era of rapid technological advancement and accelerated iteration, ultimately achieving their own transformation from catch-up to transcending catch-up.
